Crazy how fast Mavericks went from affordable new truck to not so affordable new truck.

@2:51 "leg room is nice back here?" My dude looks like a dead spider 😂

I'm sold on the Maverick XLT Hybrid. Thanks for the great review.

The only reason 35 grand sounds "affordable" is because most other new cars are being priced way above what they are actually worth. Im not paying 35 grand for a 25 grand vehicle. Just won't happen. However, once again, because we have people in our society that will overpay, this silliness continues! Smh....

Honestly mid to high $20k I can bite ... but mid to high $30k there are other options so be neat to see a low option taco or frontier SV ... hell if ya find a gladiator sport model it be interesting as well ...

[Coldpack]

That would be great if they were not marked up 10gs.

I agree with you Ben; the Maverick is a sweet ride. A few available units are on dealer lots in my area and I see no mark ups.

Wild how prices went up. For a 22 hybrid xlt, paid 24.7 OTD with 4% off sticker (chapman ford promo), financed at 0% APR .... driving this truck forever 😅

I love the standard Navy Pier interior color. Blue is my favorite color in general and I'm so sick of a drab black or gray interior. I noticed the price has jumped up thousands of dollars since the Maverick came out, which is disappointing. A modestly equipped XLT Hybrid with an optional spare tire, tow hitch, and a bed liner is now over $30k. That's about $4, 000 more than when the Maverick first came out. Yikes.

I would love to see a base model Maverick/base model 2024 Ranger comparison. Those are the two that I am really debating between.

Mine arrives between 22-28 March. Went with XLT Azure Hybrid with Lux pkg and Blackout pkg.

Thank you for the review of the Ford Maverick XLT hybrid truck! Looks like an amazing truck! 42 miles per gallon and 191 horsepower sounds amazing!

Can't wait for the Tremor review Ben! That's the one I have my eyes on but I'll wait for your review in comparing the Tremor to all the other Maverick models you've driven. I think the comparison to the SantaCruz is a good comparison since the Honda Ridgeline is a bigger truck.

The Maverick hybrid is still a good thing, but I wonder how it will compete once Toyota brings the Stout to the US. I think Ford will have to iron out their supply chain issues otherwise Toyota may be taking away sales.

[KawaTony]

If you are going to compare the Maverick to another vehicle, I think you should limit your choices to options in the same price range. A Ridgeline is way more expensive than a Maverick, so I think that should not be an option. In my real life, when I thought I might not be able to get my Maverick and I was test driving alternatives, I had picked the Mazda CX5.

Blackout package interior looks more plain than my XLT's. The white door and dash panels and orange accents give it a bit of color. Also don't like the all black wheels. Unless you keep the tires constantly shined, the blacked out wheels make the tires look grey. With the Charcoal wheels you don't get that effect.

[KnightOfJoy]

Put it innSport mode and it goes quite well. Best all-around hands drown!

Maverick vs. Santa Cruz or best towing ability

[brianraszka]

I would love to see a 2024 maverick lariat vs 2019+ ridgeline (Rtl-e or black edition) vs 2024 ford ranger comparison. Once you have push to start, you can’t go back. I never go off roading, tow about 1% of the time. Need at small truck for hauling riding mower, furniture, mulch etc. I am all about mpg over how fast it is. It just has to do the job. Want it as a daily driver

Compared to the Honda Ridgeline, please
